Any washing machine (AEG) repair company recommendations?

Preferably Norf London-ish? I suspect that the ones with the highest search engine rankings are those who have paid the most money for those positions and will therefore be the most expensive.

AEG's support site is a bit crap.

also exhibit threatening behaviour when you refuse to furnish them with your credit card details before they start work. Oh, and they'll actually be rather shít at the job too.

How old is the machine? They've only got a couple of years in them anyway, nowadays.

The only item I rent is a washing machine.

£14 a month; after 18 months I tell them a bearing must be going because of the noise it is making and they replace it with a brand new one.

What could possibly go wrong with a machine that has rotating parts, concrete, chemicals and water inside it?

Six and a half years. It was installed the day of the 4-4 with Newcastle. :-|

Ours was £500. This is the first problem in six and a half years.

Had I paid £14pm that would be £168py x 6.5 = £1092.

You'd have also had three new machines, no problems and no repair bill ;-)

Didn't need a new machine. Haven't had any repair bills. If I buy a new one now I'll have saved myself nearly £600 on your method. ;-)

I looked up reviews on some of these outfits and they are without doubt mountebanks and charlatans. Luckily I remembered that the washing machine/fridge shop over the road says it does repairs, so I went over and the bloke there came round and fixed it for sixty quid, which I thought pretty fair.

wd local business imo.
